MARTA AND THE SHAPESFEATURED FROM MY FRIENDS | MARTA AND THE SHAPES
:iconmartaraff:
Marta no se considera fotografa. Yo no estoy de acuerdo. Robert Mapplethorpe tampoco lo era: hacia collages, pintura, pero un día le regalaron una camara... Y siguio haciendo arte, pero con un nuevo instrumento.
Marta, antes que nada, y mas importante quizas, es artista. Y fotografa.
Marta no fotografia paisajes, ni personas en estudio, ni arquitectura, ni hace macros. Ese camino ya lo hacen otros: imagenes academicas, perfectamente ejecutadas en cuanto a su composición, tecnica, tratamiento de la luz. Imagenes excelentes, si, pero que en muchos casos no tienen alma. Y que tampoco se recuerdan.
Marta no necesita del dominio absoluto de la tecnica fotografica: el diafragma, el obturador, la profundidad de campo, el balance blancos, las altas luces... Sus fotografias tienen la suficiente fuerza expresiva para que lo anterior sea secundario. En Marta importa la idea, el concepto, la ruptura estetica, la originalidad

PE Abstract and Surreal: MindgamesThe de-materialization of artwork

It is necessary to point out first of all, that this article is not about landscape or portrait photography at all. Their main subject does not provide much room for interpretation because it is designed to appeal to aesthetical senses. It also is not about spontaneous snapshots – in which the photographer has to give up much of his or her control about what appears in their viewfinder. And, it’s also not about photography that is created just for the purpose of decoration and therefore usually does not have such a conceptual depth as the work which this article explores. It’s about photographs which are provoking a certain thought process and are alive in the mind of the viewer. It explores photographs in which abstraction and optical illusions are used as a stylistic device and which are challenging the viewer to play “Mind Games”.

Achieving such a

PE Abstract and Surreal: *alisinwonderInterview with *alisinwonder
:iconalisinwonder:
How would you explain the concept of abstraction/surrealism to someone who has never heard of it before?
Abstraction (and surrealism) in visual arts are expressions that don't claim to represent reality (an object, a subject or an actual scenery). Abstract art is non-figurative, but opens up to imaginary figures and scenes.

What inspires you to use the concept of abstraction/surrealism for your artwork?
As with all categories and labels, they can be useful to sort out and separate. But categories are never clean-cuts and shall not be used as limitations. That's why I'm a bit reluctent to classify my images with a label. Above all, I am interested in the process of transforming an actual seen object, subject or scene into something else – to a create a new meaning - and to invite the watcher finding their own meaning or int

PE Abstract and Surreal: IntroductionIntroduction: Defining abstract and surreal
The term abstract comes from the Latin word abstrahere (to draw away) and refers to the concept of abstraction. In abstract art it means that the artists uses a visual language of form, color and line to create an image which is almost free from any references in the visual world. Related terms are nonfigurative art, nonobjective art and nonrepresentational art.

In abstract photography the actual subject doesn’t matter much – it’s not important what you see but how you see and feel a picture. This is why abstract artists often refuse to reveal the subject of their photographs or even the used technique. They prefer not to distract the viewer from the deeper concept of their artwork. However, a lot of abstract photographers c

Minimalist Composition

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 16, 2012, 10:12 PM

Photo-Logic-Sense (DA Group) | Guide for Minimalist Composition (click)

Minimum amount of components telling all together a big story: that is what the minimalist composition is based on. Look how these deviants create a story with less amount of elements.. Please look at the title of each photograph (by clicking each of them) to see the stories what these artists are telling us.

These photos are examples of "Minimalist Composition" collection among different unique pieces of minimalist composition photographs featured in the group "Photo-Logic-Sense"

Haha.. Adam Sandler'in bir filminde gormustum: komedyen adam, babasi hic gulmedigi icin onu guldurmeye calismasindan komedyen oldugunu soyluyordu filmde.. Seninki de o hesap.. Konusmak da iyidir, simdiye kadar calismalarin da ruhu oksuyor. O yuzden sorun yok

Biraz minimalist calisirsak; cenebazligin etkisini azaltmis oluruz
